Hi,

I'm running fetchmail 5.7.4 on red-hat linux 7.2.
If fetchmail doesn't find a user, where does
it put the email it downloads from the server?
(It seems I had a problem with the local hostname
when starting up the computer, now I cant find my
email anywhere).

Well, if it downloads it it should end up somewhere. Check the "set postmaster" option and see if you've set that. Failing that it may have been delivered to whatever your mail server supports as the catch all address.

However, if you check your system's logs you should find the detail you're looking for.


   Please don't CC me on anything sent to mailing lists or send
       me email directly unless it's a privacy issue, thanks.
